Installing Boost Gauge in +08 STi *HELP*

Hey! As some may know, I just bought a glowshift Boost Gauge (52mm). I was wondering if anybody can help me properly install the gauge! I'll buy you lunch or give you a nice pat on the back haha. HELP ME OUT!

Learn to search Alan... This has been done many times.. haha. jkjkjk <3 no homo. Run the tube from the boost gauge either through your harness via passenger side or through the drivers fender. I did mine through the fender. There is a grommet in your footwell and there should be a spot were you can cut it and run the tube through to the commander in your engine bay. Takes about 30mins or so, just get a coat hanger to help route it up into the engine bay and remove the liner. It is ten times easier to do it that way and dont have to worry about puncturing anything in the harness.

I dunno, the grommet on the passenger side was pretty easy to go through. though you need a lot of hose/wire to go that way.

Alan, is it a mechanical or electrical gauge? Why Glow****?
